A nurse who worked at a Kirkland plastic surgery clinic was
recently charged for tam-pering with painkillers and
stimulants — an alleged act that caused a patient to sei-zure on the operating table in a “possessed” state.
Angela Ann Hu� man of Seattle was charged with one count of tampering with consumer products
on Nov. 8 in an ongoing investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administra-tion that also claims she stole several drugs.
A special agent with the DEA alleges Hu� man, a registered nurse since July
2012 in her mid-30s, tam-pered with a drug vial that was supposed to contain fentanyl, a narcotic pain-killer and anesthetic.
On May 16, a 20-year-old woman was to undergo plastic surgery when anoth-
er registered nurse adminis-tered midazolam, a sedative and muscle relaxant, and the supposed fentanyl.
But the patient’s reactions were nearly opposite of what is considered normal.
“� e expected bodily re-
sponse to a dose of fentanyl is the loss of consciousness, temporary elimination of sensitivity to pain, and a slowed heart rate,” probable cause documents state.

Kirkland resident Tracy Borders was inspired to turn trash into art while sailing around the islands of Croatia four years ago.
Borders and her husband lived on a sailboat with two other people in a group of seven sailboats for one week.
And every a� er-noon the sailboats would pull into a port so they could gather their food.
“As Americans, we eat way too much junk food. But there was no junk food, no snacks,” Borders said. “It was an on-going joke for us that every time we came into port we had to keep the potato chip bags.”
With an education in � ne arts, Borders saved the potato chip bags and eventually made them into a quilt.
Now, her cra� ing busi-ness called Squigglechick Designs has sold about 600
dog collars, luggage tags, wallets, and more - all made from beer labels, pop cans and recycled materials.
Borders is gearing up to present her items at the � � h annual etsyRAIN Handmade Holiday Show in Seattle on Black Friday and Saturday, Nov. 29-30. � is will be her third year
participating. But the longtime
Juanita neighbor-hood resident of 16 years hasn’t always had enough time to dedicate herself to her art.
A former ac-countant at Cold-well Banker Bain,
a real estate � rm, Borders recently quit her job to im-merse herself in Squiggle-chick Designs.
“I have a [bachelor’s] in � ne arts but of course, being an artist, it doesn’t pay the bills, you learn right away,” she said. “In 2008, I started my business just to get back into the art world and make myself happy.”

Two week ago, Lau-ren Berkowitz beat her incumbent challenger for a seat on the Burien City Council. Last week, she beat three opponents for her title as the fastest power shopper during a challenge in Kirkland on Nov. 13.
And while battling out the issues facing the city
of Burien during her cam-paign was di� cult , navi-gating her way through the grocery aisles was also a challenge.
“I could’ve done better – I blanked when I saw the meat,” Berkowitz said. “I’m vegetarian.”
� e Metropolitan Market in Kirkland and local radio station Warm 106.9 teamed up to high-light TV personality Guy Fieri’s new show, “Guy’s
Grocery Games” during a local challenge at the market on Wednesday. � e Food Network show airs on Sundays at 8 p.m. and is set in a grocery store where four talented chefs compete against each other through three cooking challenges. Com-petitors also must navigate through grocery aisles, surmounting real world challenges and creating competitive dishes.
During the local competition in Kirkland, four contestants chosen by Mark Christopher of Warm 106.9 were given � ve minutes and $100 to search the store and create as many dinner combi-nations that they could come up with. Contestants were also provided with shopping lists and tasked with gathering these items without a cart.

“It was nerve-wracking trying to think of how many meals to make – I didn’t get enough meat,” said Ashley Lenius of Covington, who practiced for the competition by running around Safeway the day before the competi-tion “like a crazy person.”
Kimberly Pajonk of Fed-eral Way said the competi-tion was “a lot harder” than
she thought it would be. But for Kevin Walker, of Everett, the challenge was a piece of cake.
“It was fun. You have to think what you’re going to do and plan it and I do that anyways,” said Walker, who cooks for his family. “My son always says I have to be creative.”
While all contestants man-aged to keep their purchases under $100, Berkowitz came ahead when she used her T-shirt to gather more items on the list than the others.
Berkowitz won a $1,000 shopping spree at Metro-politan Market and the other contestants each won $100 to use at the market.

skyrocketed, her body seized and she was li� ed o� the operating table on her arms and legs, the documents continue.
� e nurse told the DEA agent the patient was “writhing in an extremely unexpected and unnatural fashion, and appeared ‘pos-sessed.’”
Ten days prior, charg-ing documents state the nurse who administered the drugs was on vacation and Hu� man was responsible for keeping inventory of the controlled substances, which are kept in a lockbox.
But as soon as the other nurse returned, she noticed a bottle of fentanyl and two vials of hydromorphone - commonly known as Dilaudid, a painkiller - were missing.
When asked where they were, Hu� man allegedly suggested the items had been wasted during a surgical procedure, “a statement in-consistent with the recollec-tions of medical sta� present during the surgery,” charging documents state.
Blood analysis on the 20-year-old patient revealed that the bottle labeled “fen-tanyl” contained a di� erent substance. And according to the doctor at the plastic surgery clinic, the patient’s reaction was consistent with symptoms of taking a dose of epinephrine, a cardiac stimulant.
Charging documents state the drug could have caused a heart attack if the woman had been older or had a heart condition.
Hu� man was present dur-ing that operation, the docu-ments continue, but denies that she tampered with the fentanyl.
A� er the other nurse observed a third discrepancy
with the controlled substanc-es, Hu� man was terminated on May 31.
� e nurse discovered a bottle of fentanyl miss-ing and when she asked Hu� man about it, charging documents state she told the nurse “it was probably mis-placed and would eventually be found.”
But the next day, the bottle suddenly reappeared in the lockbox, which is only acces-sible to the clinic’s doctor, the other nurse and Hu� man.
� e Kirkland clinic’s sta� reported Hu� man’s conduct to the Washington Nursing Commis-sion and the following day the commission informed sta� Hu� man admitted to removing hydromorphone out of the vials and replacing it with saline.
Hu� man went on to confess to stealing hydro-morphone and meperidine - commonly known as De-merol, a painkiller - through text messages directed toward the clinic’s sta� .
“� e defendant claimed to have developed a narcotic addiction following the le-gitimate prescriptions of hy-dromorphone and oxycodo-ne in February 2013 by the doctor at [a Bellevue plastic surgery clinic],” the probable cause documents state. “� e defendant also admitted to forging prescriptions for controlled substances using the name of the doctor at [the Bellevue clinic] …”
Before working at the Kirkland plastic surgery clinic, Hu� man was em-ployed by a small Bellevue plastic surgery practice from August 2012 through April 22.
� e Bellevue practice terminated her a� er doctors discovered Hu� man had
allegedly forged prescrip-tions for at least 14 di� erent narcotic painkillers, includ-ing hydrocodone, hydro-morphone and the sedative zolpidem tartrate.
Hu� man confessed to the forgeries before she was � red and also said she used “her sister’s driver’s license and credit card to obtain a prescription for hydro-morphone on at least one occasion.”
Although the doctor tried to help her � nd
addiction treatment, Hu� man denied it.
A� er the Bellevue practice was noti� ed
of her most recent confession regarding
the Kirkland clinic, DEA o� cials discovered three signi� cantly diluted vials of meperidine at the Bellevue location.
Sta� at the Kirkland clinic continued to uncover evidence of other tampered substances, which included � ve compromised fentanyl vials. � e tape had been peeled o� and reapplied, and the rubber stopper was poked with a needle, docu-ments state.
� e DEA tested the vials and discovered all had been “completely” re� lled with an unknown liquid.
But Hu� man was able to secure work this last July at a Seattle medical provider, which does not store or administer any controlled substances. She allegedly told the Seattle o� ce that she was still employed at the Bellevue clinic and did not disclose that she had worked at the Kirkland o� ce.
She was promptly � red two weeks later a� er her employer was noti� ed of the circumstances of both
terminations.Probable cause documents
state Hu� man is currently employed at a medical o� ce in Tukwila that does not administer controlled sub-stances and it is unknown whether her employer knows of her work history.
At this time, Hu� man’s Registered Nurse license is still active, according to the Washington State Depart-ment of Health. However, according to a Department of Health spokeswoman, the Nursing Commission has opened her case for investi-gation.
Hu� man posted bail on Nov. 12 and is ordered to ap-pear at a preliminary exami-nation at 3:30 p.m., Nov. 22 at the U.S. District Court in Seattle before United States Magistrate Judge James P. Donohue.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I’m inspired to celebrate “outside the box” this year.
Care to join me? I’ve decided to be grateful
for things often not consid-ered. While heartfelt and purposeful to turn toward the goodness in our life as we give thanks, it’s also easy.
Giving thanks out of places of pain and imperfec-tion - now, that is challeng-
ing. It’s also exquisitely beautiful. And, it’s certainly outside the box.
As you practice gratitude this season, I in-vite you to offer Thanksgiving “with a twist” in these powerful places:
1. You. That’s right. Give thanks for you. You are wonderful and messy and in progress — just like everyone else. Give thanks for all of you. Be thankful for the parts of your life you love and the parts you wish were differ-ent.
Give thanks for the work behind you be-cause it deserves to be honored. Give thanks for the place you find yourself now because you are learning, growing and becoming a better version of you. Give thanks for the road ahead, for it holds the goodness that’s coming. Give thanks for the journey. You’re not done yet, and neither is your story.
2. Regret. I know that sounds strange, but finding gratitude in regret has the power to set us free. Everyone has regret. Some regrets are big, others are small. All regrets are great teachers. Be thankful for your teachers.
What’s the first regret that comes to mind? Gloss over the sting. Go straight to the learning. What did that specific regret teach you about life, about yourself, about others? Simmer in those thoughts and swarm around with a grateful heart for the wisdom you have moving forward. While you’re there, forgive yourself and let it go.
3. Public Enemy No. 1. OK, maybe that’s a little harsh, but you get the idea. Who’s brought pain to your life? I’m certainly not suggesting we become thankful for those who have committed acts of harm and hurt. I am suggesting we find gratitude in surviving hardships and trials. Who’s brought you to places of pain that allowed you to experience your own strength, or whatever inner quality you felt rise up in you to endure?
What’s the legacy they leave in your life? Conjure the good, acknowledge the bad. Sit in
the awareness of how their place in your life changed you. Take it all in and give thanks. Give thanks for the attributes that rose up in you through the fire.
Give thanks for how hearts heal across time. When we are grateful, it’s nearly impos-sible for the bitterness of pain to infect our lives. Let gratitude begin to heal injury.
How’s that for “Thanksgiving with a twist?” When we find ourselves living in gratitude for the good, the bad, and everything in between, we’re one step closer to a life lived well and with great peace — a gracious gift we all de-serve this holiday season.

Celebrate Thanksgiving with a twist
Flawed Juanita Drive studyThe Juanita Drive Corridor study that the
city of Kirkland is conducting is a welcome step in improving that roadway. Safety is and should be a prime consideration.
However, there are many other issues that should be studied with a view towards mak-ing Juanita Drive not only safer, but also a more enjoyable driving experience.
The lower section of Juanita Drive where commuter congestion is the worst is an ugly mishmash of power poles and power lines, with jersey barriers, driveways, and garbage cans lining both sides of the road.
I have never seen so many overhead elec-tric, telephone, cable and other utility lines in one place. That section of the road looks out to the south at Lake Washington and could be a beautiful and scenic drive. It is not.
Two of the study’s “guiding principles” are to: “Maintain the corridor’s unique identity and natural landscape” and “protect the ex-traordinary natural environment.”
These principles should be an integral part of the study to ensure that recommendations related to improving the overall aesthetics of the roadway, including the removal or mitigation of utility poles, power lines, and jersey barriers, remain a significant prior-ity. Unfortunately, it appears that very little attention has been given to these “guiding principles.”
A four-lane highway with jersey barriers on both sides of the road would likely serve the purpose of moving more traffic more safely through the Juanita corridor, but I doubt many Kirkland residents, especially those most closely affected who live in the Finn Hill and Juanita Bay areas, want a super highway in their backyards. I encourage lo-cal residents to provide input to the study so it becomes a worthwhile project with recom-mendations that make sense for our area and that improve the overall driving experience and beauty of Juanita Drive.Jon Carter, Finn Hill
Big Finn Hill Park process mis-characterized
I served as a volunteer on the Big Finn Hill Trails Committee set up to work with King County Parks on a trail plan for Big Finn Hill Park. The committee consists of residents of Finn Hill, Bothell, Kenmore and Kirkland, as well as hikers, dog walkers and mountain bikers. Two committee members are on the Finn Hill Neighborhood Alliance board.
Ms. Yori’s and Mr. Cash’s recent letters completely mis-characterize the process that unfolded during 2012-2013. There was noth-ing “closed-circuit” about this, from start to finish. Finn Hill neighbors and parks staff posted notices all over the park announcing the very first meeting in June, 2012, as well as
the last public meeting held June 20, 2013. In between times, the trail committee meetings were open to the public, and the commit-tee and parks staff made progress reports to well-attended general meetings of the Finn Hill Neighborhood Alliance. A board mem-ber also posted a progress report on their website while the committee was meeting.
The final version of the trails plan adopted by King County Parks in August reflects extensive input from the community at large as well as the work of the committee. The plan calls for the park’s existing character to be maintained, for repair/restoration of areas where illegal trail-building activity has oc-curred in the past (a major reason for doing the plan in the first place), and clear designa-tion of trails where bike-related features will and will not occur (all trails remain open to everyone).
Projects done so far include one trail improvement on a walker-oriented trail, one on a bike-oriented trail, and two work parties restoring and enhancing walker-oriented trails. All of the work done has been ap-proved by King County Parks after detailed on-site review, as called for by the trail plan. I understand King County Parks has respond-ed to Ms. Yori’s past emails. I asked them to forward her my contact information so that if she wishes, we can meet on-site to discuss her concerns.Tom Fitzpatrick, Kenmore

MADD recognizes Rep. Goodman for DUI reform e� orts
Mothers Against Drunk Driving recognized Rep. Roger Goodman, D-Kirk-land, and Sen. Mike Padden, R-Spokane Valley, for their leadership within the Washing-ton Legislature to stop drunk driving.
Both legislators will be honored with an award presented at the MADD Wash-ington state o� ce in Seattle on Nov. 19.
“MADD thanks Sen. Padden and Rep. Goodman for their e� orts in reform-ing Washington’s DUI law in the 2013 session and their leadership as co-chairs of the Washington State Impaired Driving Working Group. MADD appreciates their tire-less work and commitment to advancing MADD’s mission in Washington by promoting e� ective DUI countermea-sures,” said MADD national President Jan Withers.
Goodman and Padden advanced DUI reform with Senate Bill 5912 in 2013 that, among many provisions, included requiring repeat of-fenders to install an ignition interlock within � ve days of arrest. Under the legislators leadership, the Impaired Driving Working Group will be making further recom-
mendations to Gov. Jay Inslee in early December that will strengthen Washington state’s impaired driving laws.
“When I � rst arrived in the Legislature, I asked law enforcement what was the greatest source of harm in our communities and they told me it was on our roadways, at
the hands of drunk drivers,” Goodman said. “During the past seven years, I’ve worked hard to come up with tough and smart new measures to reduce alcohol-related deaths and injuries on our roads and to
hold drunk drivers account-able. I’m proud to say that Washington state now leads the nation in making our roads safer. However, there is much un� nished business as the drunk driving tragedies continue. I am honored to receive MADD’s award this year and I look forward to our continued collabora-tion with MADD to ensure that our roads are free from drunk drivers.”
A major portion of MADD’s advocacy e� orts originates from the Cam-paign to Eliminate Drunk Driving that was launched in 2006. Prior to the campaign, only one state (New Mexico) required ignition interlocks for all convicted drunk driv-ers. Today, 20 states, includ-ing Washington, require or highly incentivize the use of ignition interlocks for all con-
victed drunk drivers. Since 2008, Washington lawmakers have perennially enacted im-provements to the interlock law so that it is working as e� ciently and e� ectively as possible.
“� rough the e� orts of Rep. Goodman and Sen. Padden, loopholes in Washington’s DUI law are being closed, making it more di� cult for DUI o� enders to slip through the cracks. As we move into a new year, MADD looks forward to continuing the momen-tum our state has taken in recent years with continuous improvements to Washing-ton’s drunk driving laws,” said Amy Lea Ezzo, MADD Washington state manager.

Bills to support aerospace industry pass Legislature; Springer on task force
Legislation championed by Rep. Larry Springer, D-Kirkland, that would ensure Washington remains a leader in aerospace manufacturing and innovation has passed the House of Representatives. � e package of bills extends existing tax incentives and provides ongoing workforce training for aerospace work-
ers.“Boeing is the preeminent
manufacturer in our state, but this bill is about more than just one com-pany,” said Springer. “It’s about the 1,350 aerospace employers doing business in 35 of Washington’s thirty nine counties, and all the workers they employ.”
Springer served on Gov. Inslee’s 777X Legisla-tive Task Force that laid the groundwork for the legisla-
tion. � e measures include strict accountability to Boeing’s promise to build the
777X in Washington, creating thousands of jobs and improv-ing economic vitality for the region.
Even before the task force, Springer has spent years working to bol-ster Washington’s economic com-
petitiveness in aerospace, manufacturing and other key industries.
“I’m honored to have been part of the e� ort to pass this critical legislation. � ousands of current and future aero-space workers will be able to provide for their families and give back to their communi-ties because of the actions we have taken today,” noted Springer.
House Bills 2088 and HB 2089 passed the Senate on Saturday and will now head to the Governor’s desk, where he is expected to quickly sign it into law.

The blotter feature is both a description of a small selection of police incidents and a statistical round-up of all calls to the Kirk-land Police Department that are dispatched to on-duty police o� cers. The Kirkland Reporter police blotter is not intended to be representative of all police calls originating in Kirkland, which average about 1,000 per week.
Between Nov. 8-14, the Kirkland Police Department reported 432 tra� c violations, six DUIs, 15 school zone tra� c violations, 26 tra� c accidents, three animal calls, 40 alarm calls, 11 noise complaints, 20 calls of disturbance, 12 thefts, 16 car prowls, six car thefts, eight calls of civil disturbance, 10 reported burglaries, four domestic violence calls, seven calls for harassment, � ve reports of illegal drugs, two alleged assaults, four acts of fraud, three juvenile crime reports, three malicious mischief calls, one sex o� ense and four suicide calls. At least 38 people were arrested.

� e Washington State Library can add online technology training to its list of free services thanks to a partnership with Microso� , which has expanded its IT Academy from classrooms to anyone looking to advance their tech skills and gain a competitive edge in the global job market.
“In many ways, it’s a dream come true,” said Bill Ptacek, director for the King County Library System. “� e library has always been, if you will, the people’s university.”
Washington residents will be able to go to more than 385 libraries across the state, including public, technical colleges and tribal, to set up an account to choose from up to 250 online informa-tion technology courses at no cost. � e King County Library System is already up and running.
Microso� is footing 90 percent of the bill a� er the state Legislature back in June approved � nancial support
for the academy in the state library’s 2013-15 operating budget at $1.5 million. Sec-retary of State Kim Wyman pushed for the funding.
“� is is a 90 percent dis-count that Microso� is pro-viding,” said Wyman inside the Bellevue Library during the Nov. 12 launch for the academy. “What a wonderful bargain for Washington and its libraries.”
Washington will be the � rst state to o� er the IT Academy with its training and certi� cation programs to both its public schools and public libraries, the former launching in late 2011.
More than 50 percent of jobs in the United States require some form of technology training, said Margo Day, vice president of U.S. Education, Microso� . � at number is expected to increase to 77 percent in the near future. She added Microso� O� ce is a critical requirement for most jobs requiring technology train-ing based on data research.
“IT Academy is the best thing to happen to my
school since peanut butter and jelly in our lunchroom,” said Kathy Schmit, business and technology instructor at Kalama High School in southwest Washington. “It is a phenomenal resource, and now I have parents saying, ‘How do I get into that,’ and I can now say, ‘Go down to the library.’ “
Student Brady Harmon said his IT Academy train-ing, which took him and two other students to the Microso� O� ce Specialist World Championship in Washington, D.C. earlier this year, even led to a job o� er from a private contractor with the city of Kalama com-posing Excel spreadsheets. But, sports got in the way. � at, and being a sophomore in high school.
“A� er getting the certi� ca-tion stu� , you just become a lot more comfortable performing the programs,” Harmon said. “And if your teacher says, ‘Hey, I need you to make a PowerPoint by tomorrow about this broad range of subjects,’ you can just, ‘OK, I got it,’ and you’re
also able to help out your other fellow students.”
Washington District 48 Rep. Cyrus Habib lauded the expansion of the IT Acad-emy Tuesday for its opening access to those who need it most, including those with
disabilities, veterans, tribal communities and young women trying to � ll a gender gap in information technol-ogy education.
“I’m so proud to have this idea born out of the 48th legislative district,” Habib
said. “I’m happy to be able to work in a bipartisan way with (Sen.) Andy (Hill) and others to fund it in the Leg-islature and I look forward to working with all of you to take this to the next level in the next biennium.”

Meetings ahead for Metro bus cuts
Due to inaction to date on stable funding for public transit, Metro must begin three months of meetings across King County to inform riders of proposed bus cuts due to the absence of fund-ing.
A meeting in Kirkland will be held from 6-8 p.m. � ursday, Jan. 16 at the Peter Kirk Community Center, 12421 103rd Ave. NE.
Facing the proposed cancel-lation of 74 bus routes and revisions to 107 other routes, Metro is working hard to help riders understand the details and consequences of cutting up to 17 percent of the transit agency’s service. � ousands of riders have visited Metro’s website to see how the cuts a� ect them.
� e question of whether these cuts can be averted is in the hands of the state Legislature, which has not yet approved stable funding authority sought by King County. Metro must take steps to reduce
costs in 2014 and in 2015 as temporary funding expires and reserves are exhausted.
� e proposed cuts could mean a loss of an unprecedented 14 million rides annually, and would revert Metro’s service to levels not seen since 1997 – even as rider-ship nears all-time highs. Metro provides about 400,000 rides each day and is nearing the annual re-cord of 119 million riders reached in 2008.
Also, Metro sta� will be out at certain transit and community centers to share information and answer questions, shown in an online schedule.
Metro faces an annual funding shortfall of $75 million needed for 600,000 hours of service and bus purchases. Another 150 daily bus trips between West Seattle and downtown Seattle – buses that ease construction congestion during the Alaskan Way Viaduct project – also are at risk of being canceled in June when state fund-ing ends.
� e King County Council is
expected next spring to consider the proposed service cuts.
Kirkland seeks 600 PSE sign-ups
One challenge down; one to go. � anks to 732 Puget Sound Ener-gy customers in Kirkland, the city was awarded $20,000 from PSE as part of its Green Power Challenge.
� e second challenge is for Kirkland to beat out the cities of Snoqualmie, Anacortes, Tumwa-ter and Bainbridge Island as the city having the highest percent-age rate of new enrollments by Dec. 31 to receive an additional $20,000.
Currently, Kirkland is in fourth place; Snoqualmie is in the lead. Kirkland would need an ad-ditional 600 new participants to pass Snoqualmie at its current standing.
� e money awarded from both challenges will be put toward installing solar panels on the city’s Public Safety Building, which is currently under construction. By
participating in the program, resi-dents and businesses can match a portion of their electricity to local, clean, and renewable energy sources.
On average, the cost for a residential home is about $4 per month and $20 per month for a business. To sign up, go to www.pse.com/GPChallenge, call 1-800-562-1482 or email [email protected].
Kirkland is getting a boost from community groups Kirkland Ki-wanis Club, Kirkland Rotary Club and Sustainable Kirkland, which will be conducting outreach. PSE will provide $10 for every new en-rollment and the group that brings in the highest number of enroll-ments will get an additional $5 per enrollment. Local Girl Scout troops are also on the horizon for utilizing this as a fundraising opportunity.
As of the end of October, Kirkland’s Green Power enroll-ment number stood at 2,301; 301 participants more than the origi-nal goal set by PSE. � e current
percentage of new enrollments is 1.8 percent.
Kirkland seeks to � ll Planning Commission vacancy
� e city of Kirkland seeks adult volunteer applicants to � ll a vacancy on the Planning Com-mission.
� e appointment is for an unexpired term, ending March 31, 2017 and will be made by the Kirkland City Council. Interested citizens are invited to apply.
� e City Clerk must receive completed applications prior to 4 p.m. on � ursday, Dec. 5. Applica-tions are available online at www.kirklandwa.gov, at City Hall, 123 Fi� h Ave., or by calling the City Clerk’s o� ce at (425) 587-3190.
To learn more about the Plan-ning Commission, visit www.kirklandwa.gov or contact Eric Shields, planning director at (425) 587-226 or [email protected].

Staying fit for a long time
(NAPSI)—There could be good news for many of the estimated 40 million people age 65 and over in the country today. They can expect to have a longer,
happier and healthier re-tirement experience if they are exercising their minds, bodies and spirits.
Exercise not only helps increase bone density and functional abilities, it can improve mental and emotional health, support a sense of purpose and provide opportunity for socialization.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, older adults need at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity such as brisk walk-ing every week and muscle-strengthening activities on
two or more days a week.Residents in Brookdale
retirement communities across the nation enjoy Brookdale Fitness B-Fit, a unique program that aims to maximize seniors’ functional abilities. The classes have residents perform exercises that incorporate components of Tai Chi, brain-challenging movements and meditative relaxation.
Offered at least three days a week, the Brook-dale program is based on the latest guidelines of the American College of Sports Medicine. The new guide-lines include cardiovas-cular, resistance training, flexibility and neuromotor components of exercise.
“The neuromotor aspect includes tai chi move-ments as a way to improve balance and reduce falls,” explained Kevin O’Neil, M.D., Brookdale’s chief medical officer.
Each class can be cus-tomized to meet the needs of each resident, regardless of their challenges. It’s one of several Signature Pro-grams by the leading owner and operator of senior living communities.

artist and dyed environmen-tally-friendly fabrics to use in her work. She still continues that line; however, it’s clear she’s fully immersed herself into working with up-cycled materials.
A typical work day could include making eight dog collars in eight hours or spend-ing half a day working on a new design for a business or custom order.
In the last year, she’s sold more than 350 dog collars and con� dently states they are her most popular prod-uct, which can run between $14 to $25.
“I cannot believe how many customers name their dogs o� of beer,” she laughs, adding that soda brand names are popular too.
On Borders’s blog, tracyborders.blogspot.com, she recalls how she made 11 Twisted Tea dog collars for her � rst customer who had 11 dogs. � e customer loved Twisted Tea so much she entered herself with her dogs into a contest that would put the winner’s photo on a carton of Twisted Tea.
Many of the Squigglechick Designs customers are regu-lars and Borders o� en creates custom products with up to half of her orders individual-ized.
Her second bestseller, luggage tags, and third best-seller, wallets, sell best around Christmas time and range between $8 to $30, depend-ing on the product.
But getting enough mate-rial to make her products can sometimes be a challenge.
Although she gets the material for her art through friends and her husband’s coworkers and her own stash, she will o� en � nd it on the street.
“It sounds awful but you � nd stu� picking it o� the street,” she said. “I don’t see it as trash, I automatically pick it up and think it’s a product I can use.”
Borders found the most milk labels, pop cans, beer bottles and cardboard pack-aging when she took the bus to and from work, adding that she also feels it does some good for the environ-ment.
Beer companies will also send her labels to make custom products. Her work is sold in many brick and mor-tar businesses throughout the country, including Marshall Brewing Company, Recon-structed Clothing Co., Dog Dish, High Gravity Home-brewing & Wine Making, to
name a few. Many of her customers
have heard about her busi-ness through word of mouth, but having her work featured in Dra� Magazine, a publica-tion for beer enthusiasts, has
certainly helped, she said.
While Borders doesn’t see herself opening her own brick and mortar store, she does hope to be featured in local stores, pos-
sibly in downtown Kirkland. “I’m doing pretty well, it’s
just me,” she said. “I just need my sewing machine and a place to make my stu� .”
But she does have goals of
making it big, literally.Borders has been working
hard at developing a “really cool” messenger bag.
“I’d like to create another line of things - handbags and bigger items,” she said, adding her customer-base is global with sales in Ireland, Germany, Spain, Italy and Japan in just this year.
Customers can also purchase her Squigglechick Designs items at the upcom-ing etsyRAIN Handmade Holiday Show between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. Nov. 29-30 at the Bell Harbor International Conference Center, Elliot Hall, 2323 Elliot Ave., Seattle. For information, visit www.etsy.com/shop/squigglechick.

Juanita High School DECA students host week of giving thanks
Juanita High School DECA students will host DECA week Nov. 20–27 with the theme of giving thanks.
The club, in its third year, has 74 members and the students’ weekly activities focus on the Juanita High School com-munity.
During the club’s week of giving thanks, students will hand out 1,000 “give thanks” bracelets, host ac-tivities and games during lunches, fundraise, pro-mote DECA and encour-age thankfulness through the club’s wall of thanks.
As a club, Juanita High School DECA students will be involved in four community service proj-ects this year, eight club activities, fundraising, promotion, group learn-ing and competition.
The club started the year strong by taking 10 students to a three-day leadership conference.
Competition is another important part of DECA. On Jan. 9, students will challenge themselves aca-demically by participat-ing in the Area 3 DECA conference, competing against more than 800 other students for the right to compete at the
state level.DECA is a profes-
sional student leadership organization that prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs to learn about marketing, business leadership and employ-ability skills to prepare for their future.
DECA enhances prepa-ration for college and careers by providing co-curricular programs that integrate into classroom instruction, applying learning in the context of business, connecting to business and the com-munity and promoting competition.
Student members leverage their DECA experience to become academically prepared,
community oriented, professionally responsible, experienced leaders.

Kirkland Cub Scouts help hungry families
Kirkland Nourish-ing Network is holding a food box drive for the Thanksgiving weekend to help some local families in need.
The organization is a group of individu-als, schools, churches, non-profits and govern-ment members who come together to share ideas and efforts to solve hun-ger and food scarcity in Kirkland.
Kirkland Nourishing Network will be deliver-ing food boxes to local elementary students and their families. Many of these students receive a free breakfast and lunch while at school, but will not be getting those meals over the four-day Thanks-giving weekend. These food boxes augment their
family meals.Cub Scout Pack No. 550
collected enough food to donate eight boxes toward the drive. The scouts talked to friends and fam-ily and brought canned goods, rice, pasta, soups, applesauce and much more.
Kirkland Nourishing Network member Lynette Apley is coordinating the food drive day on Nov. 25. She and other volun-teers will accept the boxes from the Cub Scout pack in the morning and then hand the boxes out to the deserving families in the afternoon.
“This is a fantastic and generous donation from Scout Pack No. 550. Every box counts and we’re very grateful for their support,” Apley said. “We are help-ing more than 51 adults and 99 kids - some fami-lies with eight and 10 chil-dren - so these food boxes truly make the difference for them, especially at a holiday time. One family said it will be the first time they can host a fam-ily Thanksgiving because they have enough food to feed everyone.”
Anyone interested in helping the Kirkland Nourishing Network food drive can get instructions and sign up to bring a box at mysignup.com/thanks-givingfood.

Minnie Sterno� Minnie Sterno� left memorable
impressions throughout her life. She was socially conscious, charitable, ethical, generous, fair, reasonable, insightful, � scally wise, a close follower of politics, gave sound business advice, and was inspiring to her three children, two grandchildren and friends. She was kind, caring, educated and fearless. She was direct, didn’t su� er fools and told them. Long before women’s lib, Minnie was liberated.
She never forgot the depression, clipped coupons, observed how fate or foolishness can cause you to lose everything and that nothing good comes from greed. She read thousands of books and for years, subscribed to 5 papers.
Born Minnie Rosenkrantz October 24, 1920 in Aberdeen, WA, middle child to immigrant Russian Jewish parents, William and Mary, Minnie and brothers Oscar and Alex were raised to know how fortunate they were to be born here. Ahead of her time in many ways, Minnie swam, played victorious tennis over her gentlemen friends, and earned a business degree at the UW. In her early 20s, when her father had died and her brothers were in the military, she put her education and capability to work. She took over Western Machinery, the Aberdeen family business, selling equipment to logging mills run by men who, years later, remembered Minnie as formidable. Renamed Western Steel, she was on the board into her 70’s, and the company today is run by her brother Oscar and her niece Jill Rosenkrantz.
Minnie met Irving Sterno� from Seattle on a blind date. They married in ’49 and moved into a small house in Magnolia. In’57, they bought in Bellevue, and eventually, Kirkland. Minnie encouraged her children to read, travel, and expand their world. Bill became a network news correspondent; Bob, a developer; and Sandy, a CPA.
Irv and his brothers owned Sterno� Metals, and when her signature was needed on business documents, Minnie didn’t co-sign blindly. She asked questions and insisted on changes that impacted the business and investments.
Minnie and Irv dined at Canlis and Trader Vic’s, took the family to the Hong Kong Restaurant every Sunday night, supported the Seattle Symphony, Seattle Opera, and numerous charities. They traveled to operas in the USSR, went to Israel, Egypt, Australia, drove through Europe, took cruises, and made friends everywhere. Never shy, if Minnie wanted to be seated at the captain’s table on cruises or wanted fresh fruit in Moscow where it was scarce, she got it!
She loved her parents, her family, the sun, ocean beaches, deep tans, Palm Springs, cruising the Gulf Islands, oysters, Dungeness crab, razor clams, throwing parties, gardening, playing the horses, shooting craps in Vegas, and dressed with style, bought on sale or lay-away.
She taught herself to cook, and her sou� és, blintzes, latkes, matzo balls, ge� lte � sh and corned beef were legend. Minnie adored and carried Charlie, her miniature Pekinese, everywhere. When retailer I. Magnin banned dogs, she never shopped there again.
Minnie had character, common sense, was a person of integrity, honor, dignity, fortitude and purpose. In Yiddish, Minnie was a mensch. Bill, Bob, Sandy (J., John and Jennifer), grandchildren Sarah and Andrew, brother Oscar and his wife, Jackie, nieces Jill, Jody, Julie and nephew Bill survive her and will miss her deeply.
Minnie turned 93 a few weeks ago, her life enhanced by her doctors and exceptional care and companionship provided by Patsie DeYoung and Ursula Schanne, to whom the family is very grateful. And true to form, Minnie was sharp, engaged, looking ahead, and laughing to the end.
Minnie, and Irv who died in 2006, took nothing and no one for granted, valued their friends, were loved, and will forever be remembered as good people. Minnie requested no funeral, but in her honor, please consider contributions to the Jewish Family Service, Providence Hospice of Seattle or any charity that helps people in need.

Kirkland Choral Society Christmas concert
Celebrate the Christ-mas season as the Kirkland Choral Society rings in its silver anniver-sary with “Welcome All Wonders,” an evening of glorious traditional carols and beautiful new holiday works by prominent con-temporary composers.
Hand bells, oboe, harp, strings, and piano will complement the 90 voice choir under the direc-tion of Dr. Glenn Gregg in evening performances Friday, Dec. 6, at Bastyr University Chapel in Ken-more and Saturday, Dec. 7, at First United Method-ist Church in Seattle.
Selections include “Seven Joys of Christmas” by Kirke Mechem and “Hymn to the Eternal Flame” by Stephen Pau-lus, a tender memorial to holocaust victims, “every memory woven into fire.”
“Hark, The Herald Angels Sing” by Carol Barnett and “Il Est Ne, le Divin Enfant” by Donna Schultz are delightful contemporary settings of these favorite carols.
John Gardner’s lively “Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day,” sets an early medieval text in which Christ himself tells the story of his arrival. His birth is “my dancing day.”
The hauntingly beauti-ful “Dark Night of the Soul” by Ola Gjeilo has an entirely different tone. It is set to a late medieval text by St. John of the Cross, Spanish poet and Catholic mystic.
Bastyr University Chapel is located at 14500 Juanita Drive NN in the heart of St. Edward State Park. First United Meth-odist Church is located at 180 Denny Way. Both concerts begin at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for senior/students. Online at www.kirklandchoralsociety.org or phone (425) 296-0612.

Lake Washington Schools Foundation welcomes new executive director
Lake Washington Schools Foundation received an infusion of energy and talent this fall with the addition of a new executive direc-tor and five new board trustees.
As Lake Washington Schools Foundation’s new executive director, Kris-tina Williams will oversee all foundation activities and work with the board, staff and community to further the foundation’s mission of “raising funds to support academic excellence and success
for all students in the Lake Washington School District.”
Williams is a success-ful leader with more than 22 years of experience in nonprofit, educational and community leader-ship roles.
Prior to joining the foundation, she served as the executive director of the SAMMI Awards Foundation and has held key management roles in a number of non-profit organizations, including the Hearing, Speech & Deafness Center, Colora-do I Have a Dream Foun-dation, Blind Childrens Center of Los Angeles and Glendale Family Service Association.
Her experience teach-ing in the Burbank and Castro Valley Unified school districts in Cali-fornia, and the Evergreen School District in Wash-ington gives Williams insight into the needs of students and teachers.
She holds a master of public administration degree from the Univer-sity of Washington, and a bachelor of arts degree in early childhood educa-tion from California State University, Northridge.
Eight-year residents of Sammamish, Williams and her husband Larry share a love of outdoor activities such as biking and hiking.
Five new board trustees have also brought talent and a dedication to stu-dents to the foundation: Minerva Butler, Glen Campbell, Dan Davidson, Valerie Horvath and Matt Isenhower.
The foundation board, staff and volunteers are looking forward to working with this group to raise funds to support and enrich Lake Wash-ington students. For more information about volun-teering with the founda-tion, contact Williams at [email protected] or (425) 936-1317.
